Truisms
Holzer began her career as a text artist in the late seventies by writing out phrases–truisms–on stickers and posting them around Manhattan. Later her truisms and subsequent writings have been displayed on tickers on Times Square, they’ve been carved in granite and published in books and posted on the web. Holzer’s works sometimes present micronarratives, but open, viral distribution by the general public has not been a focus in her work. Instead, she herself has planned each new spot her words are displayed.
The project is ongoing.

She's a Flight Risk...
A presumably fictional blog about a wealthy heiress who flees her family for not entirely clear reasons, possibly to do with a forced marriage. The blog begins, "On March 2, 2003 at 4:12 pm, I disappeared. My name is isabella v., but it's not. I'm twentysomething and I am an international fugitive."

Kaycee Nicole
This was a very popular blog from 1999-2001 about teenaged Kaycee Nicole's struggle with cancer. The blog was presented as real, and Kaycee Nicole eventually "died", as told by another fictional character blogging as her mother. The hoax, once discovered, caused many loyal fans and friends great distress.

Uncle Buddy's Phantom Funhouse
Art "Buddy" Newkirk has disappeared and left you his literary estate. By the looks of it, he and his friends were a very odd bunch.
You might have enjoyed knowing them. But you don't: why does "Uncle" Buddy think you do? Where is he, anyway? And what does this have to do with Meister Eckhart and the New York City subway?
To find out, you'll have to pop the floppies into your Mac, drop the tapes into your boombox, and get ready to meet Buddy's friends, read his email, listen to his band, and sort out his (very strange) Tarot deck.

Zeit für die Bombe
"Zeit für die Bombe" ist eine multilineare Erzählung, die ich 1997 fürs World Wide Web schrieb. Schon damals träumte ich davon, sie einmal in einem digitalen Buch zu lesen. Als die Erzählung beim Internet-Literaturpreis "Pegasus" der Wochenzeitschrift "DIE ZEIT" den 1. Preis gewann, rieten mir viele Leute dazu, die Quatschidee mit dem digitalen Buch schnell wieder aufzugeben und stattdessen ein vernünftiges, also gedrucktes Buch zu schreiben. Grund: Der Hypertext sei tot, und das schon länger. Ob ich denn das noch nicht bemerkt hätte? Womöglich aus purer Sturheit schrieb und programmierte ich trotzdem weiter Hypertexte ( "Hilfe!" und "Die Schwimmmeisterin"), bis das Nachrichtenmagazin "Der Spiegel" mir 2002 den zweifelhaften Ehrentitel "Veteranin der schwindsüchtigen Szene" verlieh. Immerhin erkannte ich, dass das Magazin damit so falsch nicht lag. Denn multilineare Erzählungen im Internet zu veröffentlichen, hatte unübersehbare Nachteile. Der größte davon war, dass die Leser diese gar nicht lasen, sondern vor allem darin herumklickten, und zwar so schnell, dass sie gar nichts lesen konnten.

Listening Post
Listening Post is an art installation by Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin that culls text fragments in real time from thousands of unrestricted Internet chat rooms, bulletin boards and other public forums. The texts are read (or sung) by a voice synthesizer, and simultaneously displayed across a suspended grid of more than two hundred small electronic screens.
Listening Post cycles through a series of six movements, each a different arrangement of visual, aural, and musical elements, each with it’s own data processing logic.
Dissociating the communication from its conventional on-screen presence, Listening Post is a visual and sonic response to the content, magnitude, and immediacy of virtual communication.

Listening Post was displayed internationally between 2002-2006 and is now part of the collections of The London Science Museum, London, UK and The San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose, California, USA.

Translation
Author description: Translation (version 5) investigates iterative procedural "movement" from one language to another. Translation developed from an earlier work, Overboard. Both pieces are examples of literal art in digital media that demonstrate an "ambient" time-based poetics. As it runs the same algorithms as Overboard, passages within translation may be in one of three states — surfacing, floating, or sinking. But they may also be in one of three language states, German, French, or English. If a passage drowns in one language it may surface in another. The main source text for translation is extracted from Walter Benjamin's early essay, "On Language as Such and on the Language of Man." (Trans. Edmund Jephcott and Kingsley Shorter. One-Way Street and Other Writings. 1979. London: Verso, 1997. 107-23.) Other texts from Proust may also, less frequently, surface in the original French, and one or other of the standard German and English translations of In Search of Lost Time. The generative music for translation was developed in collaboration with Giles Perring who did the composition, sound design, performance, and recording of the sung alphabets.

First Screening: Computer Poems
A suite of a dozen kinetic poems programmed in Apple BASIC. Later, as the first versions became inaccessible, the works were recreated in HyperCard in the early 1990s (after bpNichol's death), and then in 2007 recreated in javascript for the web, and simultaneously the original BASIC and Hypercard files were republished for download.
